“Anybody involved in the creation, distribution or promotion of comics, either online or in print can nominate comics, but you’re not allowed to nominate your own comics or comics made by any of this year’s judges or organising committee.”

There are nine categories, and you can vote for up to three comics per category.

The nominations will close on Monday, December 20th, so there’s still plenty of time, if you’re a webcomicker, to get your ballot in!

I turned mine in last week, and let me tell you, it was tough. I don’t make as much time as I should to read many of the great, great webcomics that are out there, and choosing from the thousands that can be found on the webcomic list, topweb comics, Comic Genesis, ComicPress etc. can be a daunting task. So I asked myself, who deserves it, who works hard, who is new and/or could use a leg up, and what do I like?

I also had some help from my better half, Ali, who has helped tremendously in the development of this website, my work, the Forsaken Stars facebook page, and getting the word out, so if you don’t like my choices, blame her. Just kidding. She has a great eye for what’s good.

The nomination ballots are secret, but a few creators have posted their ballots to help get the word out and encourage fellow creators to fill out their ballots, and I’d like to follow suit, so, without further ado, here are my nominations:

Yeah, plenty of these are in my blogroll, and have banners on my page, but that’s because I follow them and love them and would love for them to be recognized. I did do quite a bit of searching and reading other webcomics before making my decisions. It’s my first year voting, so who knows, maybe next year I’ll expand my horizons even more. But I have a feeling I could easily nominate several of these again if they continue to keep up the great, great work.

You’re welcome! Yeah, I’ve gotten a bit steeped in webcomics in the last few months, having joined the webcomic list, Project Wonderful, comic rank, and then dipping my toes into topweb comics. My bookmarks are full to bursting!
